Democracy is not a problem if we have pr
Even if we object to the fundamental premise of democracy (that morality is derived from opinion) it is redundant to do so if not enough others agree. If the mob thinks the mob has legitimacy there is no point arguing about it. If enough people are libertarians and we have a fair voting system then democracy will not be threatening because people will (vote to) leave each other alone. Democracy is only a problem if the majority of people are socialists (in which case the absence of democracy would be no better) or we do not have a fair voting system. If we have a fair voting system then democracy is not a problem... either if the majority of people are socialists or not. Democracy is only a problem if it is unfair and not proportional.
